Theresa May is 'responsible' for London terror attack and must resign says top David Cameron aide

Reports suggest that at least one of the London Bridge
attackers was known to the security services.

Former Conservative Downing Street director of strategy
blames May for failing to prevent attacks.

Opposition parties call on May to publish suppressed
report into Saudi funding of UK extremists.

May tells BI: "I have to say, I don’t think I’m the
only person in Westminster who has found themselves on the
receiving end of a few comments from Steve Hilton".

LONDON — The Prime Minister should resign over her alleged
failure to prevent the London Bridge terror attack, a former
senior aide to the last Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron
has said.

Former Downing Street director of Strategy, Steve Hilton, on
Monday claimed the Theresa May was "responsible" for the attack
that left seven people dead and many more injured, and called for
her to resign rather than seek re-election.

"Theresa May responsible for security failures of London Bridge,
Manchester, Westminster Bridge," he tweeted.

"Should be resigning not seeking re-election."

Responding to Hilton on Monday, Prime Minister May told Business
Insider: "I have to say, I don’t think I’m the only person in
Westminster who has found themselves on the receiving end of a
few comments from Steve Hilton".

Terror report

May is also under pressure to release a suppressed report Home
Office report into the international funding of terror groups in
the UK.

The report was commissioned by the last coalition government
in 2015 and due to be published last year but has never
been emerged. The Home Office admitted last week that it may
never be published due to the "very sensitive" nature of the
report.

The report is expected to reveal links between Saudi Arabia and
extremist groups in the UK. Critics of the government believe it
has been suppressed due to the UK government's ongoing trade
relationships with the country.

The UK recently approved £3.5bn worth of arms export
licences to Saudi Arabia, despite criticisms over its involvement
in the bombing campaign in Yemen.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn yesterday called on May to publish
the report.

"It is no good Theresa May suppressing a report into the foreign
funding of extremist groups.

"We have to get serious about cutting off the funding to these
terror networks, including Isis, here and in the Middle East," he
said in a speech in Carlisle on Sunday.

The Liberal Democrats have also piled pressure on the government
over the issue.

“You will agree with me that the protection of our country, of
the British people, is the most important job of any government,"
the party's foreign affairs spokesman Tom Brake said.

"Certainly, more important than potential trade deals with
questionable regimes, which appear to be the only explanation for
your reticence.

"When will this report be finished and published? And what steps
do you propose to take to address one of the root causes of
violent extremism in the UK?"

May will later this morning give a speech in central London
as the general election campaign enters its final days.

She is likely to expand on plans she set out yesterday to tackle
extremism in the UK.

The PM
said in a speech on Downing Street yesterday that there
was "far too much tolerance of extremism in our
country," and called for greater powers to intercept
online communications.
